GEC NEWS WIREToshiba Electronics Europe GmbH has unveiled its next-generation S300 Pro Surveillance Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), designed to meet advanced surveillance storage needs. Offering capacities up to 10TB and double the buffer size, these HDDs use conventional magnetic recording (CMR) technology, allowing users to record, store, and analyze video from up to 64 HD cameras.
The high scalable, 3.5-inch[4] S300 Pro Surveillance HDDs, with capacity options of 4TB, 6TB, 8TB and 10TB, now support up to 24 bays, making them an excellent fit for large-scale video recording systems, delivering reliable operation even in the most demanding environments. Additionally, compared to the previous generation, the new S300 Pro provides a higher maximum sustained transfer speed of 268MiB/s[5] and doubles the cache buffer size to 512MiB[6]. The S300 Pro HDDs also reduce power consumption, delivering improved total cost of ownership (TCO).
With 24/7 operation, an enhanced annual workload of 300TB[7] and mean time to failure (MTTF) of up to 1.2 million hours, the S300 Pro can handle the increasing video analysis demands of mission-critical surveillance footage. The next-generation S300 Pro’s extended warranty period, from 3 to 5 years, demonstrates Toshiba’s high durability and engineering quality of its HDDs[9].
“Specially optimised for large-scale video surveillance operations, where advanced video analytics, face recognition and editing are mission-critical features, Toshiba’s next-generation S300 Pro delivers enhanced performance, durability, and 24/7 reliability,” says Larry Martinez-Palomo, Vice President, Head of Storage Products Division, Toshiba.
